An Oddity

. Nearly every mill or factory has its stories and legends of unusual incidents- that happen from time to time. As. yeals pass the old timers often indulge in the "L remember" etc., and thise tales are told over and over. This story is not a legend, noi is the writer one of the old timers. It is interesting chiefly because of its recent date.

The Louisville Veneer Mills at Louisville, Ky., manufacturers of veneer and plywood, operate a complete band saw mill for the production of flitches, and for splitting logs to produce what is kn6wn as rotary cut half round veneer.

From one end of the log to th-e other, sprinkled all over tle surface, shone hundreds of glittering spots, som-e large, some _smbll. {n _axe, was used to- chop. out one of the spots, and ii turned_ out to be lead, then one of the larger ones was chopped out and_when separated. from the surrounding wood, it was found to be a slightly flattened lead "Minie ball," the kind t a Iead "Minie that was used durinc the,p-eriod_of the civil war in this country. Considering the positioi of this ball, and some of the others close to the heart of thiiwalnut of of this-watnut log, the tree must have been well over a hundred years old. and when just a young sapling it had evidently been riddled with lead.
